Default A-arms & control/traction arms setups??

Well, I have been shopping around trying to figure out what the best A-arms & control/traction arms that fit what I would like to do. What I am looking for is 1) Wide range of adjustments (+/-) 2) Good for daily driving, but "track ready" 3) "Best bang for your Buck" with quality.

I was looking into the Kinetix set since the price is appealing, but the Stillin and/or the EVO350 just look like they are a better quality.

I'm a casual driver that makes canyon road visits every so often. I would eventually like to track also.

Thanks folks!

What are you going to be lowering you car with? Springs/ Coil-Overs? Which ones?

For the front A arms I would look at the Cusco's because of the price and they are a good quality. The Kinetix are GARBAGE. I myself have The Stillen A arms because other then the 350Evo they have the widest range of adjustment.

I use The Stillen Rear Camber Arms and the JIC toe arms in the rear and they also work really well for fine tuning my alignment.

Is it just bearings that replace the stock ones on the stock A-Arms?

I can email it to you if that doesn't work.

BTW. I use SPC Toe Bolts and Camber Arms for the rear ... again ... perfect setup, easy install and great adjustment.

I'm about to sell my setup as well (I'm selling my car too).

I also have one of the few Unitech/Performance Nissan A-Arm sets. Mine are using the stock bushings for less NVH on the street though. They are the highest quality setup I have ever seen for this car. I particularly like the shim design, so there's never any worry of slipping or movement. I think they were around $1000 new.

I'm also getting rid of my JIC traction and camber arms for the rear. I've never had them slip or move. They are nice quality. They were also about $1000 for the 4 arms.

Unitech set my car up on these at -2.7 deg. neg front camber, and -2.1 in the rear. It is awesome through turns.

If you want to buy the front and rear setups from me as a package, PM me an offer. All parts are in great condition, and were only on the car for about 8,000 miles. I'm also going to be putting the Unitech/Koni Truechoice double adjustable coilover system up for sale soon...They retail at $3100, and they're barely used. Thanks.

J Ritt, I'm very interested in the Unitech/Performance Nissan A-Arms only. PM me a price.

What are you going to get to replace your Z?
